I had the privilege of hanging with some fine fishermen Saturday. Oscar@CBF, Krash, Sharkman38, 88gmcjimmy and I met up in hopes of fishing between the seaweed.
We fished comfortably with a stiff North wind. Even had a some tidal movement. Finger mullet showed up in the surf later in the afternoon. It was clear, sunny, mild…a great day to be out on the sand.
Oscar cranked in a five foot Bull Shark on his new rig. The Bull opted for the biggest chunk of Jack that was offered. After a few pics and a measurement, he was back to where he come from.
I stayed until just before dark. I’ll let the others fill in the blanks after I left. Had a great time and I am glad to finally meet Sharkman38 and 88gmcjimmy. Thanks for the grub.
This link should give you a rough clip of Oscar’s Bull. I’m too lazy to add some decent audio. Just leave the volume down and hum the soundtrack from Jaws.
Hi Peggy. The Texas City Jaycees hold an annual Tackle Time Tournament. It runs every year around July 4th. I have a shot or two from way back when. I’ll try to dig them up for you. If you ever visit the Texas City Museum, I imagine you would find some pictures there. Thanks for posting.
Back in the early 80′s they would hold some type of shark catching contest~~is there any record/photos from that time??
i read on another site that the city was not gonna rebuild the dyke was it wrong or are you guys fishing off the beach or the dyke.
Thanks for the report Dale. Sounds like Plan B worked well for you. We’re gonna have to talk about this “spot” someday.
It’s gotta get better when and if this wind subsides. See you on the Texas City Dike.
